Synopsis

#include <door.h>

Description

The functions in this library provide programmatic access to doors, including the
ability to create and call them. Doors are a fast light-weight RPC
mechanism for secure control transfer between processes on the same machine. Conceptually,
a thread in one process can issue a call using a door descriptor
that causes code to be executed in another process and then returns
using the traditional synchronous RPC model. Doors can also be used
to pass data and file descriptors between processes.
